So it was true, that Sam Bankman Fried was an avid player of League of Legends. To the point he was playing while having conference calls with other CEO's of huge companies when putting together multi-million dollar deals in the process.
Here is a funny video to see while we wait for esports to pick up once again after the long break we are in:

For the amount of time playing LOL he was only bronze two. He was also pretty bad at this game.

Interesting developments in this story of account sharing in dota, thanks for the news on that ralle14.
We still have one match in the Xmas BetBoom Playoffs today to see who gets a spot in the final:

A week ago there was also big news that happened in the Dota pro scene as PGL reported a case of account sharing between different pro players including a couple of notable players like Koma (VP's new carry player).

Unfortunate for these guys to receive a permanent ban but it's crazy that they had the courage to risk the career they've built up though.

Match is about to start any minute now, good luck with your bet mate.
It was a quick 2-0 win for Drink Water and after that series, they secured the second and last division 2 spot.

They should've played another series but YG was caught using scripts throughout the qualifiers and with that, they got disqualified. I'm surprised that pro players still have the guts to cheat at this level but at least they're caught in the end.

Yeah.

That issue from YG made Drink Water easy took that slot for division 2. Well, I'm sure that the DW players were happy that it had to happen and now, there's no more blockage for them being in the div 2.

Div 2 for SEA, there are interesting teams out there but it's on a holiday break and we shall see it soon so, congratulations to teams who had made it.

While YG is waiting for the winner of the series Drink Water and Lilgun, I think that this is a tough match up. Lilgun is like always a darkhorse on these tournaments.

But looking at the line up of Drink Water, it's competitive but might not be enough. The game's up within 6 hours from now.
I agree, both teams are good, but I'll give the edge on Drink Water here since one of their support players came from Lilgun.

The over 2.5 maps would be the play if it's available but unfortunately, we only have match winners so I'll go for Drink Water, Lilgun will likely struggle to get a win since they're not performing like the same Lilgun from last season.
Yeah, imagine the former captain of Lilgun is going to play against his former team and playing for Drink Water. He knows well his former teammates and that can be used against them.

Actually, I like this team Lilgun but without sanctity it's no longer the same from what I've used to see them playing against other SEA teams and beating them out.

Unfortunately no  Grin Spawn advanced further in the upper bracket and is now one series win away from qualifying while Neon got knocked down to the lower bracket.

I'll take another shot at it and bet against them as they'll be facing [email protected] they already met in the open qualifier recently and it went 2-0 in favor of YG.
Well, Spawn is now qualified for division 2.

Noticed Spawn is playing a match today currently against Lilgun so I would say you won your bet on this match in the DPC Sea Tour 1 right?

G2 with the clean win against Team Liquid it's been a while since they got a trophy and I hope they can keep things going as there's the IEM Katowice next year.

Later today the dota qualifiers will resume and unfortunately, there's not a lot of lines available to choose from but I'll take Neon Esports @1.95 vs Spawn, Neon has the better form while Spawn has higher ranked players which makes them the slight favorites.
IEM Katowice invites for the tournament were announced just yesterday with the teams that will make an appearance:

Will be supporting G2 this time in the finals match against Team Liquid. I think they are more consistent than Team Liquid and Monesy is a monster right now. If he continues to play like that, I am inclined to think they can end their year with a Championship win.
I'm also rooting and betting on G2 @1.87 their odds are just too good when they've been sweeping teams.

Team Liquid had a great run as well but G2 seems more solid after taking down Faze while Team Liquid struggled against Faze in the group stages.

Finals are Sunday so get ready for a busy day in the esports/football world!
I agree, aside from the Blast finals, there's the CDL majors to look forward to later in the day.

The Blast playoffs starts later today and i'm surprised that Navi is slightly favored in this match when they still look shaky. Team Liquid on the other hand is performing better compared to Navi even though they're in a similar position they're able to grab at least a map in that one losing series. I already placed my bet on Team Liquid@ 2.04 since they're the value pick and Navi nearly lost against Heroic who are playing with a stand-in.
Very good choice on Team Liquid taking it yesterday @ralle14 !
I had them too on all my betslips so that is a solid win.

But today OG is playing them for a place in the semi-finals and they took the first map. On the second map it looks like they made some adjustments and are now on their way to winning it so to tie it up. Anibus as the decider map. It was interesting to see the stats on this map actually.
There were some glitches that were not fixed before putting it into the map pool that were resolved with an update but they didn't apply it for this tournament:
"On Anubis, several spots where grenades and guns could fall through the ground have been addressed, along with various clippings that caused issues with throwing grenades and players getting stuck — the arch leading to the B bombsite among the most notable.
These changes are not expected to come into play at the ongoing BLAST Premier World Final, which is now heading into the semi-finals. The tournament runs on an old patch, dating back to even before the next-to-last update that disabled so-called 'magic' molotovs on Tuesday."

I am not aware of the bug and glitches in Anubis. We have seen Anubis being picked up as a decider match in the playoffs, but I have not seen the bugs and the glitches or maybe I missed it. But anyway, I hope this will not affect the Finals if Anubis is picked up again as the decider map.

Will be supporting G2 this time in the finals match against Team Liquid. I think they are more consistent than Team Liquid and Monesy is a monster right now. If he continues to play like that, I am inclined to think they can end their year with a Championship win.

@boltz Think I've seen Anubis a couple times this Blast Premier Masters series but mostly as the decider map.

Also yes, I have seen talk of source 2 coming with all the work that they have put into it over the course of the years they have been announcing it's arrival to the tournament circuit.

For anyone who missed the match yesterday with the official introduction of this Valorant type map according to Somedieyoung (SDY) at the beginning of this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hII7_VOiBw

It is a beautiful map I must say and am quite impressed on how fluid Team Liquid were playing on it during competitive play.
They must have been practicing alot on the offseason to know where each and every hiding hole was while playing Outsiders.

What a refreshing map for CS:GO! The old Anubis was kinda meh but this one ...I love it , I love the angles , I love the rotation and I can' wait to see pro players finding PRO moves with flashes and smokes that will go on the other side of the map.  Yea , as far as I know , pro players get a chance to see a future pro map since early testing as their opinions actually maters unlike other games where pro players don't have any decision over maps or updates.

There are also rumors that SOURCE 2 is about to make a huge comeback in 2023 :O
